Bo.lan

Bo.lan explodes the myth that the best Thai food comes from hole-in-the-wall restaurants.

ADDRESS

Sukhumvit 53, Bangkok, Thailand

The Overview

Founded by a Thai-Aussie couple whose names intertwine in the restaurant's moniker, Bo.lan has become something of a trendsetter in Bangkok restaurant circles inside the "slow food" and organic movements. Set in a converted bungalow, this intimate eatery doesn't tone down the flavors of its home-style cooking that reaches deep into the Thai culinary canon. Make sure to try the tom kati, coconut soup with smoked fish, and save room for petit fours—traditional banana and coconut sweets that friends have called their Proustian madeleines.
